Worms?

Hey dudes. I'm a beginner grower and I remember knowing that earthworms produce beneficial wastes that serve as nutrition for any plant. Having such knowledge I was wondering if it is a good idea to incorperate worms into my growing procedures? Could they cause damage to the roots? I haven't read anything about them in my studying, so I was wondering if a few random cats knew the answer to these questions. Got anything?

No, they feed on dead organic material in the soil. Rotting material. So I think your good.

Haha. Poor worms. Was the soil too acidic for them or something? Maybe the nutes in the soil killed them
